My attorney has put my current legal case in jeopardy. I cannot find other representation nor do I have the money to start over.

If a lawsuit has been filed then the attorney needs to file a motion to withdraw and the court must grant the motion before the attorney is off the case. You may oppose the motion to withdraw; however, given your dissatisfaction with the attorney I don’t believe you’ll be satisfied with... Read more »

Generally, no, but I'm not sure if you are seeking to collect money owed or if a private party or the government is garnishing your wages.

Been Waiting 6 months for the prosecution to provide the test results proving possession of an illegal substance. Still no word and waiting 6 months for new judge to replace the old one
answered on May 1, 2019
The Prosecutor has up to 1 year from the date of the incident to file charges, if it's a misdemeanor such as marijuana possession. It can take several months to receive the lab test results confirming the identification of the illegal substance.

Bad idea on many grounds. First, I doubt the match would be commissioned through the state. Second, you would incur liability risks. Third, it might be unlawful under your city's laws. Fourth, it might violate your HOA declaration or rules and regulations, if applicable.

A hotel may not discriminate against you on account of race, religion, national origin, etc., but may discriminate against you on account of merely not liking you or mistakenly believing you are selling drugs.
We pay the lawyer for bankruptcy. After we paid him, we had a couple of deaths and illness in the family. We have decided not to file bankruptcy now, and he won't return our money. It's been about a year that he's had the money. Can he keep the whole amount?
answered on Apr 17, 2018
He can keep the portion he earned prior to your advising him you were not filing. The rest must be returned.
Am I allowed to have time to get counsel if my lawyer quit, isn't debt supposed to be split, I'm filing for a appeal because I don't think the judge was not only fair but I don't see how his decision is legal
answered on Apr 6, 2018
I don't understand your question. Give your property to whom? What decision?
You are certainly allowed to retain new counsel, but the judge is not required to put the case on hold to allow time for you to retain new counsel. Most will give a reasonable time period, however. Your... Read more »

No one should make an unauthorized signature.

Lawyers are not supposed to charge for fixing their mistakes. You may want to consult to someone who handles malpractice cases, instead of those who handle family law. But, first talk to your attorney and see if she will negotiate on the bill.
I am involved in a lawsuit and I sent via email to my attorney my checking account information and social security number. I thought it was confidential. He sent it to the apposing party and I was not aware of it, nor did he have my permission. I thought emails and personal information were... Read more »

It appears that you were informed that he had disclosed the information. Normally, discovery responses are signed by the party (you), as well as the party's attorney. Were you not asked to sign the discovery responses?
How have you been damaged by this?
